US NAVY USMC CHINA RELIEF EXPEDITION CAMPAIGN MEDAL RIBBON BAR, 1ST PATTERN

Description

You are bidding on a
US NAVY US MARINE CORPS CHINA RELIEF EXPEDITION MEDAL RIBBON BAR, FIRST PATTERN, 1900-1901, in new, unissued condition.  Single and multiple mounts
(required for wear or display)
are available in my store
--You cannot wear this ribbon without a means of mounting it
.
I can assemble an entire ribbon rack, and can get virtually any currently issued US military insignia or award and many historical items, but space is limited in my store.  Please feel free to contact me with your needs.
Will gladly combine shipping for multiple lots.  Thanks a million for looking and check out my
other items
!
*I apologize for the ridiculous shipping, but I have no choice but to ship
First Class Package
,
as when I attempted to ship first class non-machinable, the USPS frequently saw fit to run the envelope through the sorting machine anyway, destroying it, and of course I would be blamed.  Done with that.  You can, however, fit MANY items (the ribbon mount, other ribbons, insignia) in a First Class Package, so if you need anything else, it's like free shipping.
**The good old USPS seems to lose about three of my shipments every year.  Astonishingly, I have had several ex-buyers take this risk and then expect me to act as though they had paid for an insured shipping method.  My life doesn't work like that.  If I want a service, I have to request it and PAY FOR IT.  So if you don't want to be one of the unlucky three, please select the Priority Mail (insured) choice, otherwise you may request the less expensive First Class, and take the risk that the USPS may lose it.
